Ovid: Electrophysiologic monitoring in neurointensive care
نویسنده
چکیده
Cumulative evidence of potential benefits of electroencephalography (EEG) and evoked potentials in the management of patients with acute cerebral damage has been confirmed. Continuous EEG monitoring is the best method for detecting nonconvulsive seizures and is strongly recommended for the treatment of status epilepticus. Continuously displayed, validated quantitative EEG may facilitate early detection of secondary cerebral insults and may play a decision-making role in the management of patients with head injury, stroke, or subarachnoid hemorrhage. Long-latency auditory evoked potentials and cognitive components constitute a new field of interest for the progress of comatose patients. Motor evoked potentials

Glucose and the Injured Brain-Monitored in the Neurointensive Care Unit
Brain has a continuous demand for energy that is met by oxidative metabolism of oxygen and glucose. This demand is compromised in the injured brain and if the inadequate supply persists it will lead to permanent tissue damage. Zero values of cerebral glucose have been associated with infarction and poor neurological outcome. Furthermore, hyperglycemia is common in patients with neurological ins...
